Does WAR take into account the team you are on? Thinking about a player like Hayward. He has a good WAR mostly because of his defense. However, the Braves have an anemic offense. Seems like his offensive liabilities would be more prevalent on a team that can't score than on a team that can.

Only 5 NL teams have positive run differentials (Nats, Cards, Pirates, Dodgers, Giants). Only 1 in NL East
Tigers are gonna skip Lobstein and give Verlander, Scherzer, and Porcello starts against the Royals, each on normal 4 days rest. I'm guessing the Royals will try to stack their pitchers too?
Just gotta try to beat up SP if you're the Tigers. The comebacks aren't gonna work against their pen.
Ron Washington just had a press conference to say, basically, that he cheated on his wife.
I doubt that is all that was involved, but either way I'm really gonna miss Wash. He could drive me crazy as a manager, but man could he get players to play far beyond expectations
